Who we are

Welcome to StevieLou — a boutique event-planning studio founded on intentional design, soulful storytelling and a passion for unforgettable moments.

At StevieLou, we believe events are most memorable when they reflect YOU: your story, your community, your values, your brand. Whether that’s a classic fall wedding under glowing lights, a nonprofit fundraiser that brings your mission to life, or a brand experience buzzing with energy and connection, we’re here to make it feel seamless and meaningful.

Our planning approach is rooted in collaboration, clear communication and joyful attention to detail. When you work with us, you’re not just hiring a planner, you’re gaining a partner who cares deeply about your experience all the way from the first consultation through the last dance.

I’m Kirsten Messier. My journey to becoming an event planner began long before StevieLou existed. I started (AS A KID?) by helping in my family’s Rhode Island flower shop and graduated to producing live music events and brand activations in NYC.  I’ve spent my career creating experiences that feel personal, intentional and effortless. 

StevieLou was conceived as a blend of this experience and the joy that comes from connection. The name and inspiration come from my dogs, Stevie Nicks and Lucy, who remind me every day to lead with heart and curiosity.
